Amusing as that is, I'm pretty sure it's happened in every war since time began, and will continue to happen until we're back at sticks and stones.

The cooker beats me every time. I usually have to turn it off and on at midnight.

Are you really telling me that multi-billionaire Donald Trump, openly backed by the richest man in the world, doesn't pay his bills?!

Oh wait, he does it all the fucking time. Maybe it's time to use a credit check agency, guys. You know, like you do every time a poor person wants something.

Ignore that buzzing noise.

It's just the sound of 200,000 dentists rubbing their hands together at the thought of all the extra money they're going to make.

I mean, it's from 1996. 3D games were in their infancy.

It's a very methodical and laborious game about checking every last corner and crevice for a way forward, and it's really not a game that concerns itself with flowing gameplay. Everything is awkward. It all feels very deliberate, from the block based layout to the walk button that takes you right the edge of them.

There's a few bits where you need to keep running and jumping (the timed flame puzzle for example) and those can be iffy, but there's not many. It's a game of its time, and they've preserved it all. I'm surprised how well it still holds up if anything, considering the gameplay is left as intact as I remember it.

About 6 months ago, I refilled the office salt pot with sugar for a laugh.

Nobody seems to have noticed yet.

At least Hitler could paint, and he was a good shot at point blank range.

Yeah, but that Cardinal Glick though. They should have made that guy pope.

Just about everything in her books happened somewhere, just not all at the same place and time. Some 80s USA, some communist Romania. Just about everyone has oppressed women at some point or other, and continue to do so.

I think the only unrealistic part is that she gets away rather than killed... The TV show especially has her in particularly thick plot armour.

It's easy to assume that everyone that disagrees with us is stupid, but I can assure you that's very much not true.

I've seen otherwise very intelligent people lost down the rabbit hole of right-wing fuckbaggery. I think it's often just a slow burn from social media. I saw a video earlier today about an ancient tool for spear throwing, and was immediately afterwards presented with a video about how the new Dragon Age game is ruined by DEI...

And the saddest thing is, most people on the extremes have started at the same place: An unhappiness with their own life and a search for a solution. They've just ended up at vastly different positions, in that the right has chosen to blame the nebulous "others" below them, while the left has chosen to blame the "others" above them. And punching down is always an ugly look.

Delphi will be back, baby.
